Write Cache.
When the write cache is enabled, data is stored locally on the controller
before it is written to disk, allowing the computer to continue with its next
task. This provides the most efficient access times for your computer
system. When disabled, the computer will wait for the controller to write
all the data to disk before going on to its next task. For details, see
"Enabling and Disabling the Unit Write Cache" on page 118.
This feature interacts with functionality of the BBU, if you have one, and
with the unit's StorSave profile. For details, see "Enabling and Disabling
the Unit Write Cache" on page 118.
